Organizations

Committee Representation

Students in both tracks of the MSN program are encouraged to participate in the planning and evaluation of the MSN program. To that end, student representation is solicited every year in the standing committees of Clayton State University and the School of Nursing. Faculty encourage students to serve on these standing committees as well as other bodies, such as advisory boards, which are periodically formed as needed.

Advisory Board - standing committee of the School of Nursing; advises faculty and administration regarding marketing needs and programmatic issues including curriculum development.

Graduate Committee - standing committee of the School of Nursing; reviews student and faculty data; revises or updates the MSN program curriculum.

Professional Organizations

Clayton State University's Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society in Nursing (Xi Rho) was chartered in April, 1996. Membership in the chapter is by invitation. Individuals are selected based on scholarship and leadership potential. Candidates must have a minimum 3.5 GPA and have completed one fourth of their program. Invitations are extended in the Spring of each year. It is both an honor and a privilege to be invited to join Sigma Theta Tau. The Chapter Eligibility Committee considers not only grades and class rank but also personal integrity and professional conduct. Students who were not offered membership as undergraduates may be eligible in graduate school or as community leaders (at least 5 years of professional practice post graduation).
